Benefits of technology

[0008]Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connector assembly, which can reliably protect the contacts.

Problems solved by technology

Thus if the weight of the insulative housing with the contacts is not symmetrical, the insulative housing may rock and even separates from the pick-up cap when the electrical connector assembly is moved in virtue of the vacuum.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]Reference will now be made to the drawing figures to describe the present invention in detail.

[0015]Please refer to FIGS. 1-3, an electrical connector assembly 1 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention is used for electrically connecting a chip module (not shown), such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), with a printed circuit board (PCB, not shown). The electrical connector assembly 1 comprises an insulative housing 2, a plurality of contacts (not shown) accommodated in the insulative housing 2, a pick-up cap 3 covering the insulative housing 2 and the contacts (not shown).

[0016]The insulative housing 2 is substantially a rectangular shape, and comprises a main portion 21 and four sidewalls 22 extending upwardly from a peripheral of the main portion 21. The main potion 21 and the sidewalls 22 together define a receiving space 20 for accommodating the chip module (not shown). A plurality of contact-receiving passages (not shown) are defined through...

Abstract

An electrical connector assembly (1) includes an electrical connector including an insulative housing (2) having an upper and a lower surfaces, and a number of contacts received in the insulative housing, an pick-up cap (3) assembled to the insulative housing. Four pairs of latching sections (36) extend from four edges of the body portion (30) of the pick-up cap toward the insulative housing (2), and the insulative housing (2) defines four pairs of recesses (224) to latch with the latching sections (36).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to an electrical connector assembly, and more particularly to an electrical connector assembly for removably mounting a chip module, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), to a printed circuit board.[0003]Conventional electrical connector is described in Chinese Patents Nos. CN2629252 and CN2609213, both disclose an electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting a chip module to a printed circuit board. The electrical connector assembly comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts received in the insulative housing, and a pick up cap assembled on the insulative housing. In general, the pick up cap defines a plurality of hooks at two sides of a body portion for engaging with the insulative housing so as to assemble the pick up cap on the insulative housing. However, a weight of the electrical connector is becoming greater, the pick up often separates from t...
